Liberate Your Art--Kat Eye Studio

By Kristina

Oh my goodness...I can't believe I have not mentioned the Liberate Your Art postcard swap that the wonderful Kat from Kat Eye Studio is putting on this year (the swap started in 2011).   If you didn't see her Behind the Lens interview with us, please take a peek.  She is an amazing photographer, artist and teacher who offers a variety of fantastic online courses.  

Liberate your art is a terrific way to turn all those beautiful photos you've been taking into something that you can share with kindred spirits.   It's time to get those images off your computer and into the hands of fellow artists both near and far.  Participants from all over the world will be sharing their work and you should too!

It is not too late to get in on the fun.  Deadline to sign up is March 17.   Get all the details on Kat's site here.    This will be my first time participating and I can't wait!

And the Winner of Our Find Your Eye e-Course Giveaway is......

We are so excited to announce that Sarah Huizenga is the lucky winner of a spot in Kat Sloma's January/February e-course, Find Your Eye.  Sarah, enjoy this class and we can't wait to see some of your photos.

A special thanks to Kat for providing this wonderful giveaway.  Be sure to visit her site to see all of her wonderful photography courses.  Her courses are designed to help you "connect your heart, eye and mind as you capture the world through your lens."

Happy holidays to you all!
